No, this does not happen at
McDonald's.
I'm midway through the ten minute
drive to the nearest
Wendy's when a
police car passes me in the opposite direction while I'm stopped at a
red light. I glance over, and I notice that the
officer isn't wearing a
uniform. "That's odd", I remark to myself. But onward!
Lunch continues with no problems, as I have my usual double Classic
hamburger and there is much
rejoicing.
On the way back, I see a police car with
sirens blasting off on the
shoulder of the road. But oh no, this is no normal
speeding violation. The
police officer, you see, pulled over another police car. As I pass the scene, the officer has his
sidearm drawn, screaming at the guy who passed me on the way there and telling him to put his hands behind his head and lie down on the ground. He apparently
stole the squad car and was
impersonating a police officer.
Next, I had some
time to
kill, so I went into a local
computer store and was rummaging around in the back. I considered buying
Icewind Dale, but I just started
Planescape: Torment and I can only handle one major
project at a time. But, as I'm rummaging through the
bargain bin, I find a copy of the
Gabriel Knight Collection (both GB I and II), which I've been looking for for over a year. Now, if only I could find a copy of
Wing Commander IV, I'd be all set...
